A large portion of my mother's side is southern. That's where I got my slight accent. Don't ask me where they came from though lol. There accent is very obvious though.

Ahhh, that's why then.

My parents both grew up in Brooklyn, I grew up on Long Island but there were some phrases and annunciations that were Brooklyn when I spoke.

Don't have that accent anymore though, it's repressed, only comes out when I get steaming mad!
